| OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY

i A. Preparations vere underway in early November to
dispatch AMTRUNK-13 to Hadrid in mid-November to cenent
the recruitment of AKTEUNK~19. These plans fell

through when the Madrid Station notified Headquarters
and WAVE thet their workload would not allow sufficient
Case officer time to handle AMTBUNK-13 in Madrid at this
time. WAVE agreed to postpone ANTEUNK~-13's trip to
Madrid several weeks until Hadrid Station's workload
abated somevhat.

B. The prospects of finalizing the recruitment of
ANTRUKK~-19 increased however with the receipt at WAVE
of another open letter from AMTRUNE-19, this one
mailed from Hexico City in mid-November. In ANTRUNK-~19'g
first letter, mailed from Nontreal in mid-October, he
suggested using a friend in Mexico City as a cut-out to
initiate a channel of communications between himself and
\, tise he ba In bis second letter, AHTRUNE-~19 stated
—_—

that he had made the necessary arrangements with his
friend in Mexico. Although WAVE, Headquarters and VEXI
traces on AMTRUNE~19's friend, IDEN A, were fragmentary,
Mexico Station stated that IDEN A was well-known to one
of its PBRUMEN assets who vouched for IDEN A‘s loyalties.
WAVE intends to send an innocuous letter to AMTRUNK-19 in
AMTRUNK-13's handwriting to keep the channel with 4-19
alive. AMTRUNK-19 appears eager to see ANTRUNK~13 again
and has stated in both letters that he has considerable
information to discuss in detail. It is well realized
that this open letter channel is far from ideal but it
is hoped that in early January 1965 ANTRUNK-13 can re-
contact AMTRUNK~19 and provide hia with a system of S/¥.

“as well as debrief him thoroughly and levy FI and
MHAPHO?M requirenents upon bin.

C. ip sid-Novenber after the postponement of AMTRUNK-13's
Madrid trip, preparations began to launch Operation
AETRENE Yin carty Pocesber. This operation sould attexpt
to re-organize the ratline to and from Havana and the
AMTRUNK infil area for the future use of infiltrated
MHAPRON recruiters and other agent assets ag necessary.
Secondary objectives are to bring into the tufil area

a cache of weapons and explosives for AMMRUNK-10/AMLASH-1
and to teach a system of S/W to one or nore assets in the
area. The team is to be composed of the same four individ-
uala who participated in Operation ANTEUNK IX in October
1964: AHAGREE-1, Team Leader; AMAKA-1, Badio Operator;
and AHTRUNK-16 and -20, Cuides. It was decided to sheive
the V-20 as the Intermediate Craft (IC) for this opera
tion and substitute a 17' Johnson boat with twin 7S bp.
outboard motors which could maneuver through shallovwer
water and which could be more easily canouflaged. The
basic reason for this decision was the fact that Decen-
ber through February are the low-water months in the
AMTRUNK operational area. During this shallow water
serson, the heavier, wider V-20 can only be used in the
decper and sore heavily-guarded infiltration canals.

D. Through the combined efforts of AMICE-14, the AMTRUNK
P/A, apd AMAGREE-1 and AMAKA-1, four radio operator
candidates, to be trained for future use in P¥ Opura~
tions, were recruited during the reporting period.

EB. Recruiting for MIAPRON infiltration candidates con-
tinued during the reporting period. One prospective
Anfiltree was recruited during the month of Novenber

and the case officer was active in assessing and debrief—
ing two other candidates. It is Roped that by Harch 1965
one or nore of these candidates will be trained and pre-
pared for infiltration for clandestine MiAPRON recruit-
ing. In large measure this will depend upon the success
of Operation ANTRUXK X in re~organizing the ratline to
and from Havana.

F. S/¥ Hessage No. 13 was sent to AMTRUNK-11 in response
to his Nessage No. 15 in which he stated that both OWVL
receivers were now in his possession. WAVE Message No.
13 to AMTEUNE-11 gave directions for the disposition of
the OWVL receivers and the activation of OWL contact
with both AMTRUNK-11 and AMTRUNK-10.
